About Us Overview

North West Pathology is a member of the Sonic Healthcare
group and has been providing quality pathology services to the
Tasmanian community since 1977.

North West Pathology has a central laboratory situated at Burnie
and additional laboratories at Latrobe and Queenstown. We
service general practitioners, specialists, nursing homes, public
and private hospitals in the north west and west regions of
Tasmania.

At North West Pathology, we focus on offering a professional and
comprehensive pathology service to our community providing accurate
results with fast and reliable turnaround times.

North West Pathology is one of three semi autonomous laboratory
divisions operated in Tasmania by Diagnostic Services Pty Ltd. The
other laboratories are Hobart Pathology and Launceston Pathology. The
services are integrated under one management structure to ensure
efficiency and effectiveness. All laboratories are mutually
supportive for both staffing and specialised
testing. Each division however, independently offers a
comprehensive range of tests and services. A
seven-day a week, 24-hour service (incorporating out of hours
emergency testing) with trained and experienced pathologists and
medical scientists is available in each region.
